An ornithologist is studying a population of female starlings as it changes each year. They are assuming the
following things about this bird population:
1st year starlings
Does not lay eggs
50% survive to 2nd year
2nd year starlings
Has 3 female offspring each
70% survive to 3rd year
3rd year starlings
Has 1 female offspring each
None survive to 4th year
80
Suppose right now the distribution of starlings in each age group is
100
30
After 1 year, how many starlings will be in each age group? [Round answers to the nearest whole number.]

If the vector b=
12
x3
represents the distribution of birds, where a₁ is the number in the 1st year, 2 is
the number in the 2nd year and 3 is the number in the 3rd year, find the matrix A so that Ab is the
distribution of birds after 1 year.
